We present the derivation of cost of capital under the assumption of risky tax shields discounted with the cost of levered equity. We show that the formulation is consistent and is derived from basic financial principles. This formulation is valid for finite cash flows and non growing...

This paper presents a formal derivation of general expressions for Ke and WACC in perpetuities with constant growth, which do not make any assumption on what the proper discount rate is to be applied to the firm's tax shield, and are complemented with numerical examples of its application....

Llano-Ferro (2009) proposes a solution to avoid 'significant errors' when the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) obtained by the standard formula leads to significant errors in Net Present Value of the Firm calculations; particularly in those that apply to perpetual cash flow series. In...

As the proxy for expected return, the implied cost of capital (ICC) is subject to a mispricing-driven measurement error because the price of a stock used to compute ICC can deviate from its intrinsic value. For undervalued stocks, the mispricing-driven measurement error is positive and increases...

As the proxy for expected return, the implied cost of capital (ICC) is subject to a mispricing-driven measurement error. For undervalued stocks, the mispricing-driven measurement error is positive and increases with the degree of undervaluation while for overvalued stocks, the mispricing-driven...

Because stock price generally deviates from the intrinsic value, stock price is a noisy indicator of the intrinsic value. As an expected return proxy, the implied cost of capital (ICC)—the internal rate of return that equates the noisy stock price to discounted expected future dividends—thus...
